PRODUCED BY AND FOR YOU!
CATV/8 is the Upper Valley’s not-for-profit community access television station. And it is here solely for us – to debate local issues, to showcase our young athletes and musicians, to inform, to entertain, and even, in some cases, to offend. It is freedom of speech, the right to know or just plain ol’ fun. All at our fingertips.
As one of four towns that supports CATV/8 through franchise fees, residents of Hartford receive benefits that non-supporting towns do not. These include: taping and broadcasting of Selectboard and Schoolboard meetings, public forums, school concerts, graduations, sports and other town-related events. However, with the exception of the Selectboard and School boards, we rely on volunteers to provide us with tapes of local events.
Any Hartford resident or organization can submit tapes for broadcasting on CATV/8. Also, announcements for events around town whether it’s a concert on the green, rummage sale, pancake breakfast, etc. can be included on our community bulletin board.
The form and guidelines for both the bulletin board and tape submission are on our website at www.catv6.org.
The studio is located downstairs in the Hanover High School. We’re open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 3 pm.
Hartford Selectboard & Schoolboard meetings are broadcast the Wednesday after their meetings on CATV10. Tapes of both boards are available at the W. Hartford library shortly thereafter.
Also, our education station UVEC (Upper Valley Education Connection) is open for business and could have its channel on air as soon as December 2003. UVEC’s studio is located in the TipTop building in White River Jct. The phone number is (802)295-6688.
Just a reminder that community participation is vital to our mission of providing local programming. So, stop by sometime – we’d be happy to show you around!
